July 18, 2008 Leader of the 9 Percenters calls Bush 'A total failure'The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, has called George Bush "a total failure" as president. It is at moments like this that I truly wish I had a better grasp of the English language. Then again, I don't think there is any ironic juxtaposition of words that could possibly do justice to the utter and complete comedy exhibited by Madame Speaker who heads up a body that received a 9% approval rating from the American people. "The pot calling the kettle black?" Horribly inadequate. A quote from some Chinese proverb like "Those who live in glass houses...?" Better but still doesn't capture the essence of idiocy shown by our beloved Speaker. Face it. There simply are no words to throw at Pelosi that will shame her, wake her up, or otherwise clue her in on how monumental of a parody her words make of herself. In fact, perhaps she was confused and instead of describing her own towering inadequacy as leader of House Democrats, she inadvertently spoke of the president when she said: Seeing that Pelosi and the Democrats had very little credibility on any of those subjects before they came to power, that 9% approval rating would seem to indicate they have less today. It is simply not possible that Pelosi is such an idiot that she was not aware of the supreme irony of her words. Maybe she was trying to be funny. Wolf Blitzer, known more for partisan hackery than for a sense of humor no doubt didn't bat an eye when the old crone made her observation about the president. George Bush has not been the best president. But he is far from being the worst. That fact alone should have caused the Speaker to bite her tongue when talking about "failure" in a public official. One might be tempted to list Pelosi's accomplishments as Speaker except there haven't been any. She heads up the biggest do nothing Congress of the past 50 years and for her to point to performances less than exceptional on the part of anyone - president or garbage man - only shows her to be oblivious to her own stupidity. |

Wasn't it Pelosi who said the oil industry should be nationalized? She is a Marxist. She wants to replace capitalism and republican government with centralized Marxist control.
To her, that 9% approval rating indicates success. Marxists want us angry, and they seek to direct our anger, not at themselves, but at the system (ex., the executive), and they personalize our anger (Alinski rule 12) to those who support the system (ex., Bush).
They have the media. They have the schools. They have congress. Now they need the executive, which will then provide a pathway to gaining the judicial branch. This will give them the dictatorial power they need to effect a Hugo Chavez style takeover. This also explains why they do not criticize Chavez.
To limit our response to "see how stupid she is" is only a glancing blow. She can deflect it by saying so-and-so republican is stupid, and she might be right. What a worthless exchange.
Our criticisms need to reveal what they are, reveal what their plans are, and reveal their tactics. Calling each other stupid, labeling each other a failure, just feeds their purpose of distracting us from identifying their plans, which history shows have disasterous results.

"The pot calling the kettle black". A great choice of words in describing Madam Speaker's comments. Personally,I think her mind has been sucked into a Black Hole, never to see the light of day!
Posted by: Robert Behrens | July 18, 2008 12:55 PM
I wonder how Pelosi would characterize the Democrat-led Congress? I'd say they were a total success.
They've been totally successful at joining forces with the media to talk down this economy to the brink of a recession.
They've been totally successful at making Americans think the country is in a recession.
They've been totally successful at blocking every effort of the U.S.. to achieve energy independence.
They've been totally successful at caring more about the "rights" of terrorists than for the lives of average Americans or those serving in the military.
They've been totally successful at demonizing, smearing, and lying about our troops and the Iraq war.
They've been totally successful at ignoring the successes the troops have achieved in Iraq.
They've been totally successful at painting President Bush as a liar for making the exact same claims that Clinton and fellow Democrats have regarding Saddam.
They've been totally successful at plotting a subterranean foreign policy with thugs and dictators such as Abbas, Assad, and Chavez.
They've been totally successful at....
You get my drift.
This Democrat-led Congress has been treasonously successful.

What is frightening is that there are over one hundred Democrats backing her as speaker. Coruption on the scale that this congress has reached since 2006 can not be expressed. Who backed these scum? What should be done to the money men who inflicted them on the American People?

If only three years ago some on our side would have shut thier mouths the whole world could have heard this lunancy before. The best refrain then would have been just listen, and then ask is that what you want? I am sure that with some discipline for earmark conservatives would have stopped 2006 dead in its tracks. But then the only reason this country is ever governed from the left is whole loaf nature of some on the right. They in fact are responsible for this but too single minded to see it. Lets start moving thee lefties out one inch at a time.

I have a theory that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are 2nd stringers placed in positions of power in a democratically controlled congress and senate so that they can preside over the moronic Bash Bush plan that has been in place for the last 7 years. This way, when the executive branch turns over to Democratic Party control they can toss these two clowns over the side and allow some of their first stringers (who haven't had to spend the last 2 years of their career making idiotic statements and defending anti-American policy positions) to take the spotlight. It is either that or their stupidity knows no boundaries. Probably the latter.

What James said.
Nancy Pelosi, war criminal, traitor, murderer, responsible for the death and maiming of tens of thousands of our troops.
Harry Reid, see above.
Jack Murtha, see above.
God Bless America.

I'm not sure how she can say he has been a complete failure? Have we had another terrorist attack on US since 9-11? No we haven't. I think that is Bush's greatest success yet!
Posted by: Jennifer | July 18, 2008 02:13 PM
To Captain Dave --you're right --the Democrats looked around and asked who's the dumbest person in the House --and it was Pelosi , then the asked who's the dumbest person in the Senate --it was Boxer ( she's just too dumb -so lets forget her) -but Reid was the next dumbest Senator --so they piched Reid and Pelosi to do all the dirty dumb work !!! 9 % is 8 *points too high ! both Pelosi and Reid can argue over 1% rating !!!

Jennifer,
Nancy Pelosi is resoponsible for maiming "tens of thousands of our troops" -What are you referring to??
Your King GW, is the person who authorized the leaking of a covert CIA agents name in a time of war. Who is the criminal?
Your king has been in office for 7 years now. Our economy is in the shitter, not because nancy Pelosi and harry Reid are saying it is so, but because it is. Your King and his administration have made extremely poor decisions at a cost in blood and money that has weakened our dollar, put us in debt to a communist country and weakened our position of strength around the world.
God bless America- yes, but open your eyes.

Someone should remind Pelosi that people with wax heads shouldn't walk in the sun.
Posted by: Scott | July 18, 2008 03:34 PM
Since Nancy and the left have taken control of congress the economy has gone in the tank, the price of gas has skyrocketed, and they have done nothing. The President has changed course in Iraq and found victory despite her sides best efforts, has passed the terrorist surveillance bill that protects America despite her sides best efforts, and has outflanked her politically on almost every other political issue to the point now that she will not even try to do her job and legislate. Nancy has done the seemingly impossible, she is a failure not only in republican eyes but also in the eyes of her own party.
You know the President had to chuckle when he heard that Nancy Pelosi called him a failure. History will judge the President very well, Nancy on the other hand will be forgotten by history, if she is lucky.

Burny -
Classic lefty penchant for ignoring the democratic process when your candidates don't get elected. The fact that Bush was elected for two terms makes your choice of the word "king" sort of strange and a little pathetic.
Man up and admit he's everyone's president, even the people who don't like him and didn't get as many votes.
Here's a promise - if BHO wins this November, I'll never refer to him as a king, gripe about stolen elections, use names in the vein of "Bushitler", etc.
I wish I could expect the same from the Left if McCain wins, but experience has radically lowered my expectations for intellegent, much less civil discourse from that side of the aisle.
PS - Please don't write back about the "stolen election" in 2000. Been there, done that...
Posted by: David Bueche | July 18, 2008 05:51 PM
Burny, It was I, not Jennifer who authored the post you refer to. So let me take the blinders off of your eyes.
Imagine you are an average Iraqi. In the middle of the night you hear a noise outside and you look out your window and notice some AQI guys burying something in the road. Now, you know that this road is frequented by American GI's and Marines daily. What do you do? You can do nothing, thus assuring deaths and/or loss of limb. Or you can tip-off the Americans and potentially save lives. Of course tipping off the good guys may get you and your wife and children killed when the Americans leave because all they hear is Al Jazeera constantly repeating pelosi, reid et al saying "The war is lost!" "Get out of Iraq!" "We have to leave!" Our GI's are rapists and murderes!" Etc...etc...etc. ad infinitum.
So what would you do? I can't blame the average Iraqi guy for keeping his mouth shut, can you? The democrats, by their constant bleating that the "war is lost" have cost us thousands of lives.
Of course your completely predictable response is going to be "Well, we shouldn't have been there in the first place." Right? Perhaps not, but the fact is we ARE there and the democrats behavior in this time of war has been nothing less than despicable. They are the true war criminals.
As far as the economy goes, if you'd actually do some research, it's not quite as bad as the MSM has shoved down our throats. Furthermore, I recall pelosi saying in '06 that the dems had a plan to bring down the price of gas. What happened?? maybe I heard her wrong and she really meant to say "raise" the price of gas. I guess maybe she has kept a promise or she is just full of it.
When you refer to the CIA agent I'm assuming you are refering to Valerie Plame? Covert agent? I heard she was just a secretary or a clerk, something along those lines. I would concede that I haven't thoroughly researched that particular debacle. But in the grand scheme of things that seems like a rather trivial matter. Has anybody been killed as a direct result of that fiasco?
On another note, you and yours elected these morons on the promise that they would impeach G.W. Well, what happened? Where are the impeachment proceedings? I'm guessing they lied to you as well. There is nothing to impeach them for. I guess your hero kucinich may still come through. I'll tell ya though, if there was ever somebody who needed therapy.....he's your man.
One final fact, in my entire life I have never voted for either of the Bushs. So he is not my "King"

Your beloved democrats have been in power for 1 1/2 years. The blame is theirs now.
Nice try though.

I have seen this headline on Drudge but I have refused to read it at the risk of being infuriated. However,I saw your intro and it convinced me to read on, and oh yes... it still infuriated me. For one simple reason,Bush was extremely kind to this woman on the day she was sworn in, citing the great career of her father. Unfortunately,she can say whatever she wants its a free country, too bad stupidity cannot be banned.

Burny, what is it about the word Treason that you don't understand? When a collective and overwhelming decision is made to go to war as we did, Republicans and Democrats, after 9/11, the opposition must put the security of the country above partisan politics, just as we did in WWII. However, your treasonous Democratic Party has, with the aid of a lackey media, attempted to undermine this war in every way possible for cheap political points and nothing more. So guess what? Every time your treasonous representatives and senators open their mouth in opposition to the war and denigrate our troops, as Murtha did, they embolden the terorists in Iraq and elsewhere to kill more Americans in the expectation that your traitors in Congress will help turn the tide of the war in their favor. So, yes, Nancy Pelosi in her role as leader of the Democratic Congress is responsible for the maiming of American soldiers as well as deaths. I saw this picture before, in Vietnam, when your party undermined a war that it started and in the process killed many more American soldiers who are now inscribed on the Vietnam Memorial but who should never have been dead if not for your Democratic leaders and people like you.

Burny,
If you and the rest of the left-headed fools keep electing Dems it's going to be "Saddam" Pelosi. Or someone of the sort. Then maybe you'll wake up! But, by then it'll be too late.
Posted by: Boudreaux | July 18, 2008 07:54 PM
Burny, a State Dept. lackey named Richard Armitage leaked Valerie Plame's name to Robert Novak - NOT anyone at the White House.
Also, Valerie Plame was in a Vanity Fair shoot with her husband, oe Wilson, BEFORE she was 'outed'.
Get your facts straight.

I totally agree that Nancy Pelosi is 9% popular and 100% idiot.
How can someone who represents a district in California that is home of the weirds could become a Majority party leader.
How could she make decision for people who are of a different breed that she is.

I looked up Bush's rating--28%. Pelosi's congress--9%. If Bush is a failure what does that make her?
I called her office and left her that message. You might do the same.

"They've been totally successful at plotting a subterranean foreign policy with thugs and dictators such as Abbas, Assad, and Chavez."
So has Sarkozy been - yet AT has been praising him ever since he took office.
You can't have it both ways. You can't condemn Assad, Abbas and Hu Jintato, and at the same time praise Sarkozy, who is appeasing these dictators.

She is acting as a desperado. In the game of chess, a desperado is a piece which is going to be lost anyway, so the player uses the piece to take whatever he can so that its loss is not a total waste.
She has nothing left to lose, so she has strapped on the bomb and run into the president. If, somehow, she lives, fine. All will be well. But, with her 9% leadership, she realizes that she is done and has nothing left to lose. Hence, her desperado behavior which she feels might cheer on the her hideously ignorant base supporters, and in her foggy brain, even win over some others to her side.

Nancy Pelosi was elected the first female speaker of the House with a promise. As part of her 100 hour agenda, Pelosi declared she will start by cleaning up Congress, breaking the link between lobbyists and legislation, and commit to pay-as-you-go and no new deficit spending. As a result of the Abramoff lobbyist debacle, Pelosi passed internal guidance on member and lobbyist behavior.:
Well, lo and behold! Two years later The Wall Street Journal (Elizabeth Williamson, Friday, July 18, 2008, page A2) article, "Congress Relaxes New Rules on Lobbyist Disclosures," revealed that Nancy Pelosi not only failed in strengthening and enforcing ethical guidelines regarding lobbyist relationships but also took a giant step backward.
"Congress has relaxed rules that would have required public disclosure of contributions and parties paid for by lobbyists, narrowing the scope of new ethics rules intended to draw back a veil on Washington's influence game.
New guidance released by Congress late Wednesday exempts lobbyists from reporting their financing an array of political and charitablecontributions, events and parties at political conventions"
The Congressional Culture of Corruption thrives. It is clear that Congress cannot police themselves. In the eyes of many, Congress is nothing less than an organized criminal cartel working out of Washington.
There is only one answer: establish an Independent Ethics Panel. This panel can neither be made up of current or past members of Congress nor can the current Congress be involved in its creation and staffing. The Panel cannot consist of Washington insiders or lawyers (this is an ethics panel dealing in right wrong, not a legal proceeding subject to the chicanery of lawyers).
The new Independent Ethics Panel should consist of five people: all registered Independent voters. Panel members term shall range from one to five years. This Independent Ethics Panel will cover both Houses of Congress and be empowered to investgate ethics violations, real or imagined. This panel shall create and distribute ethical guidelines to every member of Congress annually. There should be an effort to rotate Panel members from among the States.
Only a truly Independent Ethics Panel can work. Congress is broken. It needs to reform. This is a workable path to eliminating a 9% approval rating.

Richard D. Brinkley,
My knee-jerk reaction to your Independent Ethics Panel was, "not a bad idea". However, after some time passed, I am thinking your idea is another "more government" solution.
Also, your final paragraph suggests that the 9% is due to public perception of ethics problems in congress. Do we know that? Is the 9% really due to democRats in control doing nothing, when they could do something, like get out of the way of drilling for oil and building refineries?
I am liking better education of the public concerning Marxist strategy to eliminate constructive republican government. With such a tact, the public may just come to see that democRat behavior is not "just politics as usual. Rather, their behavior is focused on a specific destructive goal which their tactics are designed to distract us from seeing, not unlike the distractions a magician uses to draw our attention away from seeing how the trick is done.
Without better education, what assurance is there that any independent panel is not composed of people who will "evolve ethics to meet the [alleged] changing needs of society [moving towards Marxist centralized control]?

Who is out of step here?
Mr & Mrs Clinton loved and wanted to emulate the Germans. Mr Kerry loves the UN and Western Europe.
The present Dem leadership still aims for the leftist, socialistic policies of the "old" Western Europe.
But, that "old" Western Europe is, today, moving somewhat "right(?)" Have they learned from the "new" Eastern Europe (past SSR's)?
So when Reid/Pelosi "get there" ... they (we) may still be "alone(?)" Or, are they headed toward the new Russia and the old (but changing) China? Their "one (socialist) World" is elusive!
